SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 54l=7,174, dated October 1, 1895.

Application filed February 5,1894- Serial No. 499,194. (No model.)

To otZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Mnsnava, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suifolk and State of Mes sachusetts, have invented a new and useful Metal Corner Bead or Plate for the Construction and Protection of Plastered Walls, of which the following is a specification, illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view, parts being broken away, showing the corner plate or bead in position. Fig. 2 shows a side view of a position of one corner plate or bead detached from the grooved strip, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the plate or bead shown in Fig. 2.

a a, Fig. 1, represents the finished plastering; 1), brown mortar; a, wooden setting and support for corner-bead; d d, lathing; 6, steel corner-bead; f, studding or wall.

Fig. 2: e is a steel corner-bead; g, perfora- .tions; 7t h, line of wooden setting.

The perforated strip of metal shown in Fig.

l 2 in the accompanying drawings should be of an inch into the wood, leaving five-eighths of an inch of the perforated strip exposed to the mortar and skimming. This furnishes a guide for the trowel and ample clinching spaces for the plastering, and the combination of wood, metal, and mortar secured together in this way gives great strength and permanency to plastered walls where corners and bevels occur.

The bead on the extreme exposed edge of the plate of perforated metal, as shown in de tar therethrough outside of and beyond the lathing or securing strip, and provided with the stiffening bead upon its outer edge, sub stantially as shown and described.
